I was bleary eyed and exhausted from the marathon photo shoot the day before, 14 hours of non stop walking and shooting bands at Denver’s Mile High Music Festival.

Matisyahu
Watching Matisyahu perfrom is different than watching a “normal” band, its more like a jamming religious experience, the crowd is different, calm, happy, and passionate about just being in the presence of a man with this authenticity. The experience might be summed up nicely by Van The Man’s line “it stoned me to my soul…”, maybe that’s what Matisyahu’s [...]

Mile High Music Festival Part 1
This last weekends festival was all about endurance. I survived the weekend physically, barely, but the mental and emotional toll will take a lot longer to heal, just thinking about wading into over 1,500 photos is more than I can even think about now. But the show must go on so here are a few [...]

Trevor Hall
Do you remember your first concert? I was probably 15-18 and saw Kiss. We actually had tickets that were so bad they were called “obstructed view” but that’s all we could afford. Obstructed view meant there was some massive object in your way so you couldn’t actually see the performance. Our tickets were even worse! [...]
Savage Henry
Savage Henry frontman Damon Guerrasio It was Saturday night and it was time once again to venture forth deep into Denver’s underground music scene in order to locate yet another incredibly talented band to sooth my ear drums which had been battered into submission during the week by the pathetic excuse for music found on [...]
